Disclosed herein are embodiments of lead-free (Pb-free) or lead-bearing solder column devices that can include an inner core, an outer sleeve surrounding a portion of the inner core, at least one space along a length of the outer sleeve, and a second layer including a solder material coupled with a portion of the inner core within the at least one space. The inner core can be configured to support the solder column so as to prevent a collapse of the solder column at temperatures above a liquidus temperature of the outer sleeve's solder material and the second layer's solder material. The column serves as a heat-sink to conduct excessive heat away from a heat generating semiconductor chip. Moreover, the compliant solder column absorbs strain and mechanical stress caused by a difference in the coefficient of thermal expansion (CTE) connecting the semiconductor chip to a printed circuit board (PCB).
An apparatus and system for attaining maximum unidirectional response to vibration damping of a printed circuit board (PCB) or other planar surface utilizing a defined travel displacement of a single tungsten (or other material) cylindrical rod in a single or plurality of sealed cylindrical chambers in a particle impact damper (PID). The single tungsten (or other material) cylindrical rod is not weighed down, constrained, encumbered within the chamber; accordingly, providing unrestricted freedom for the cylinder to quickly respond in a unidirectional direction at the first occurrence of excessive vibrational acceleration over 1G. The structure of a single cylindrical particle within a sealed cylindrical chamber also provides a path of minimum distance for the cylinder to travel before colliding with the ceiling or floor of the PID chamber. A plurality of cylindrical chambers can be arranged in a variety of patterns within the PID housing such as desired. The PID housing can be any shape such as a cube, a rectangular cuboid, a cylinder, sphere, triangular tetrahedron, triangular prism, polygon, toroid or any combination of shapes.

An apparatus for optimizing vibration attenuation of a printed circuit board (PCB) by means of a tunable control for adjusting the volumetric storage capacity, effective mass and travel displacement of a particle impact damper (PID). The apparatus is comprised of a housing with a single or plurality of sealed storage tank(s) containing a payload of tungsten balls (or other materials) with a single or plurality of adjustment screw(s). The volumetric capacity of the storage tank is at maximum when the screw is fully withdrawn from apparatus. The volumetric capacity of the apparatus is reduced when the screw is inserted into the storage tank. The tunable adjustment screw controls the performance of the PID to dampen and attenuate (reduce) the vibration in a printed circuit board without the need to add or remove the payload of tungsten balls inside the particle impact damper.
